Don’t expect another iPhone mini model soon, if ever

iPhone 13 mini
Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman delivered disappointing news for the small contingent of iPhone mini enthusiasts during a live-streamed Q&A session today. He revealed that Apple has no current plans to bring back a smaller “mini” iPhone model.
The iPhone 13 mini was phased out in September 2023, marking the end of the mini line, with no replacement offered since. Fans hoping for an iPhone 17 mini this year will be let down, and Gurman’s insight suggests an iPhone 18 mini in 2026 is also unlikely, considering Apple’s long-term planning and development timeline for new iPhone designs.

Since it discontinued the third-generation iPhone SE last month, Apple no longer offers any new iPhone models with under a 6-inch screen size. All of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models that Apple currently sells have between 6.1-inch and 6.9-inch displays, whereas the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini had 5.4-inch displays. The final iPhone SE had a 4.7-inch display, albeit with thicker bezels that increased the device’s overall size.

MacDailyNews Take: If the market was there for an iPhone mini, there’d be an iPhone mini.
